Hello, hello! I’m back in action and it feels great to be posting on my blog again. If you have been one of the few people that have stuck around, I cannot thank you enough and hopefully I will now be able to deliver the things that you hung around for.

Today I wanted to talk about a subject that means a lot to me and is a very hot topic currently, and that is politics. I am extremely passionate about politics, to the point where I drive my nearest and dearest up the wall yabbering on and at any opportunity I will delve head first into a political debate.

As the majority of you are probably aware, the UK has just undergone a rather rapid and spontaneous general election. Our current Prime Minister, Theresa May called upon this election to make a point. She wanted to prove that the people are behind her and she believed that her party, the Conservatives, would win the election by a majority of more than one hundred seats. WHAT A FOOL SHE IS. Yes, the Tories were the party that gained the largest amount of votes however, they lost their majority with Labour gaining an extra thirty seats to the previous election. The election resulted in a hung parliament and we are currently held in a strange place where the UK is unsure what is going to happen next. There are talks of the Conservatives joining up with the DUP to gain a majority however, this does not seem favourable by the public as the DUP are a party that is known to be against a lot of basic human rights i.e gay marriage and abortion.

It seems that Jeremy Corbyn, the leader of the Labour party, is still rallying his troops and continuing the fight for a fairer Britain. Jezza is determined that he will become Prime Minister in the near future and with more and more people joining his cause, everyday he seems to get one step closer.

So, where do I stand on all this? As you have quite possibly realised already by this point, I’m a UKIP supporter. HA ONLY KIDDING. I am very much cemented to the left hand side, and I don’t intend to budge. Loony lefty, Social Justice Warrior, call me whatever but I am all about that Labour Liberty baby!

Friday morning I woke up with a feeling of anxiety that I hadn’t felt in a very long time. The uncertainty was an intense feeling and although I had ensured that I didn’t get my hopes up, there was still a small part of me that was gripping on to some kind of hope that I would wake up to the best news possible. Unfortunately, as expected, the election did not turn out how I would have liked but, it wasn’t all bad.

This election saw a huge rise in voters and a large proportion of that was due to young people actually choosing to stand up and fight for their future! This made me so unbelievably proud of my generation, I have always found myself attempting to convince my peers that their votes matter and it turns out all that was needed to get them motivated was a down-to-earth leader who genuinely cares about their rights. Jeremy Corbyn is that leader.

Like the majority of my family, I have always been Labour and now even more so with Jezza in charge. I’m even seriously considering becoming a member of the Labour party myself! Call me foolish, but I can genuinely see a big change happening in the way this country is run and hopefully one day we will have a society that I’m happy to raise children in.

Anyway that’s enough for now, let me know your thoughts and feelings on the election, even if your opinions differ from my own, I always love a healthy debate! You can also expect a lot more political posts from me in the future.
